Enjoy this cute crochetSashay yarnskirtpattern. My little one is only 7 months and I can’t wait for her to wear this cute skirt I made for her when she becomes a toddler. I saw a few of these crochetskirts online, but you had to pay for the pattern, so I decided to create one myself after some trial and error. I was happy to make a You tube video to go with this crochetpattern since I figured it may be a little tricky to attach the sashay yarn to the crochetskirt.
How to Crochet a Sashay YarnSkirt, Size 2 and 4 year olds Part I

How to Crochet a Sashay YarnSkirt, Size 2 and 4 year olds Part II

You tube Video on how to do the ruffle of the skirt.

Supplies: Caron Soft Pink yarn, or whatever yarn you prefer

Sashay yarn, 1 ball for the toddler size, and 1 1/2 balls of sashay yarn for the bigger size

I and F hook

Ribbon, any kind is fine, as long as it fits in the triple crochet belt space

(Girls size 2, 4)

Finished waist: 20″, 22″

Directions are for size 2 and 4, if you want a smaller size, then use less chains for the waist. Use your measuring tape to measure.

(Chain 66 for size 2, or 72 for size 4), join to first ch to form a loop. Be careful not to twist it.

Take Ribbon and skip two triple crochet and insert in the next loop, *Repeat around, then in the center front, opposite side of the seam, skip 4 triple crochet in between the two ends of ribbon and connect the two ends of the ribbon and make a bow.

For Size 4, I would continue the length to 6 more rows, so go to round 30.

Sashay Ruffle: Ballet, F hook

Rounds for Sashay skirt: F hook for ruffles

Rnd 5. start in round 5 for ruffles. *Create the Sashay Ruffle on hook first to start, by folding the yarn inward about an inch, and inserting hook in the 2nd loop from the beginning of the fold. Skip two loops on the sashay yarn, insert hook in the 3rd hook on the yarn and pull through the loops on the hook.

In Round 5, Insert your hook with the sashay ruffle that you create (directions above) in the first sc back loop at the back seam. skip one loop on sashay yarn and insert hook in the next sashay yarn loop and pull the sashay yarn loop through the skirt back loop and sashay yarn loop, this will create the 2nd ruffle.

So Insert your hook in each sc back loop for each round. Then skip one loop on the sashay yarn loop and then pull through both loops. *Repeat for each row for ruffles

Rnds 6-7. Skip 2 rows of back loops, then start a row of ruffles in the 3rd row of back loops.

Rnd 8. *Repeat Row of Ruffles (same as round 5. same as above.)

Rnds 9-10. Skip 2 rows of back loops

Rnd 11. *Repeat Row of Ruffles (same as above.)

Rnds 12-13. Skip 2 rows of back loops

Rnd 14. *Repeat Row of Ruffles (same as above.)

Rnds 15-16. Skip 2 rows of back loops

Rnd 17. *Repeat Row of Ruffles (same as above.)

Rnds 18-19. Skip 2 rows of back loops

Rnd 20. *Repeat Row of Ruffles (same as above.)

Rnds 21-22. Skip 2 rows of back loops

Rnd 23. *Repeat Row of Ruffles (same as above.)

Rnd 24. Leave alone

For Size 4, I would continue the length to 6 more rows, so go to round 30. Just alternate every 2 rows skip like seen above.

Looking at your pattern the base for the skirt is done in SC with the ruffle being attached in every 3d row. I wonder…could I cut down on the number of rows needed for the base by SCing row 5, then DC row 6 (rather than SCing 6 and 7) and so on…the ruffle would be attached to the SC rows. Thoughts?

Wow, at first glance I thought this was a clutch purse. Little girls get to wear all the fun stuff! This stuff could be used as a ruffled cuff for plain shirts, the neckline as well. It would be pretty as a “flower” on a hat.

The skirt is fabulous, I love the colours. However could you please tell me what yarn type and color you used for the ruffle yarn? I have looked and cannot find this yarn colour and I would love to try this pattern.
